How to Write Love Songs is the only studio album of the short lived rock supergroup
Mass Mental? It was released solely in Japan, and has only gained attention worldwide due to internet uploads and imported CDs. A limited run was released in March 2016.
Background
Mass Mental came into being in 1998 after bassist
Robert Trujillo, then of
Suicidal Tendencies, began auditioning for a new side project. There he met up with
Welsh musician
Benji Webbe, whose ragga-punk outfit
Dub War had just disbanded following poor sales of their second album and disputes with
Earache Records, who had also refused Webbe a solo album.[2][3] The group was rounded out with second bassist
Armand Sabal-Lecco and drummer
Brooks Wackerman.
Skindred guitarist Mikey Demus claims that the late
Snot frontman
Lynn Strait performed on the album in one of his final recordings before his death.[4] The album was released in Japan in memory of Lynn.
